Not a hyped redbull junkie...just calm chill and get to hear all the nature. Love it man. Thank you thank you!

[@milboltnut]

redbull junkie ! funny, yeah he's the Bob Ross of fishing ! LOL Once I found Matt I don't have any interest in any other actually other than informational vids from manufactures and Bassresource forum . All the hype of lures, rods and reels and such really doesn't matter. I mean some of the crazy lures he used is proof that fish don't really care, for the most part, what you toss in front of them. He doesn't indulge on gear, just shares what he uses and that he likes them, and see how they work, and moves on. Doesn't overload you with info. Layed back guy, easy and enjoyable to watch. I learn alot from Matt.

[@ARCavingandOutdoors]

You definitely have some of the best fishing content on KZbin!

[@blakeross2852]

Especially for Minnesota content no ones catching quality fish like this on the regular on KZbin

Agreed, easily best videos

compared to where I live with trash and runoff, it's paradise where Matt lives even near suburbia. I like when he mentions how clear the water is !

[@shimshonbendan8730]

Anyone who loves the outdoors and fishing needs to see the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota. It is a pristine area. It is like time forgot about it. The beauty of it along with the calm and serenity is something hard to find elsewhere. This is definitely the best fishing channel there is on KZbin.

[@CPTFiXtion]

I need this kind of thing in my life pronto. Camping lakeside, and kayak fishing. You sir, have found paradise.

[@billsmith5166]

I'll always remember the smell and sound of heavy rain on a calm lake in the Boundary Waters. The smell of the fire in the cabin where we dried out and waited to eat was just as good. The lodge was owned by a family that had kids that were exactly our ages. The one that was my age was a very pretty girl. Her name was Peggy. Ha! You never know that you're having the best time of your life when you're that young. I remember it often when I'm falling asleep. After long consideration, the only thing I'd change is that I'd want all of my dogs there with us. Thanks for the video. I'll be watching it again.

[@Rook9696]

that first bass was just chill like you held him up and he's just "catch and release right? alrighty, have a good day" and gently swims away

[@carlgwizdala1507]

Good Evening . My son and I are true fans of your channel! :-) I've learned alot from your tips and advice. Thank You My Fellow Fisherman, YOU are Truely An Ausome Person! Keep A Tight Line My Fellow Fisherman! Sincerely, Mr. Carl J. Gwizdala

The Boundary Waters are so special. Great paddling and fishing. It is the southernmost part of the vast Canadian Shield . We would go there every summer when I was a boy. Thanks for the reminder of things special.

thanks for the interlude, Matt. The ambient sound on these two was really fine.

[@bobr7867]

Dude, not only are you skilled enough to pull in 4lb smallies, the fish are trained to jump in your ‘yak! That was a sweet moment - thanks for a beautiful recap of your two day trip!

[@jdub2716]

Looks alot like the Adirondacks near me. Nothing like the cry of a loon in the evening to give you a calm feeling. Another great video, thanks. And thanks for the link to those beefy forceps I have been looking for. My favorite fishing channel. Keep up the great work.

[@sonnytok2041]

i like it that you always release the fish you caught, even saving a moth out of the water. nice, man. God bless you n family, thanks for the very experienced yet relaxing video

[@92Koondog92]

I love everything about this video, from the scenery to the calm voice, to the actual sound of the Whopper Plopper cutting through the water. I would throw that thing in a dugout just to hear it come across the water. We don't have any bass where I am, but I'm tempted to buy that thing just for the zen of it.

[@deonnawilliams4903]

I can watch and listen to you fish all day Matt. I deff enjoyed pt.2. All beautiful and quality fish every single one as always though. Deff can’t wait to see you on the next one. Btw you and I, love how you allowed the moth to collect himself on the back of yak☺️.

[@joshuasterling2144]

My dad caught a 9 pound LMB off of a spider web on deadwood. He hung his lure over the web between two deadwood trees and it jumped out of the water and destroyed it. One of the wildest catches I have ever seen. We also caught one in a similar fashion with the lure laying over the boat just like your yak, pretty wild for sure.

If any other youtuber caught the size fish you did and the amount of fish you did theyd be screaming the whole video and clickbaiting the shit out of it, your simple and way better than the rest, i appreciate your channel.

[@stir_stick]

It’s good to watch this. I grew up fishing those northern shield lakes. I’ve been in western ND for 10 years so I even enjoy the sound of the birds. It’s funny, almost no one (myself included) fish for smallies up there. If anything we complain when it’s hard to get the lure past them to walleye depth hahaha! Not sure if you use a polarized lens but it’s great to see bottom on cam. Excellent content, thanks for posting!
